Abstract

Theodor Leber became famous for his dissertation on the ocular circulation in 1865 at the youthful age of twenty-five. He was Professor of Ophthalmology at Goettingen between 1870 and 1890 and at Heidelberg University between 1890 and 1910. By presenting his original descriptions of the disorders that bear his name, this article commemorates the death, seventy-five years ago, of a founder of ophthalmic research.
